Vitakruid Fish Oil 1800 TG mamaDuring your pregnancy, it's important to get enough omega-3 fatty acids. The Health Council therefore advises eating fish twice a week, at least once oily fish such as salmon, mackerel or herring.
However, not everyone manages this. Many pregnant women find the smell or taste of fish difficult during this period, often causing them to skip oily fish. It can then be challenging to get enough DHA through diet alone.
In that case, the Health Council advises a supplement with 250 to 450 mg DHA per day. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also agrees: they recommend a daily intake of 250 mg EPA + DHA for adults, with an additional 200 mg DHA for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This also brings EFSA to a recommended amount of 450 mg DHA per day.
